Amazing news!

The Belize Wildlife and Referral Clinic has won the Heska "Inspiration in Action" contest!

We have won the competition for US$25,000 worth of medical equipment, which will make a profound contribution to wildlife conservation, animal welfare and public health for an entire developing country.

After much consultation with our members, we have decided to introduce an annual Membership Fee for the Belize Wildlife Conservation Network!

The fees will go towards establishing and maintaining a Wildlife Advice Phone Line in co-operation with the Belize Forest Department. This is intended to assist the general public, and to reduce human-wildlife conflicts through advice.

To join now or to pay fees for the year 2012, please click here for information on the different classes of membership and forms of payment.
